Kind of like Thursday. Did I do *anything* today, either ?
Mood:  chatty
Now Playing: XM 71 - "Romance Dance", Peter White

Only thing I've made so far today is a cake ! No real reason, I just wanted a treat for everyone. Since we didn't have frosting, I added chocolate chips. These sank to the bottom of the batter during baking, but it didn't ruin the cake. It actually made it special ! The chips made a sort of 'cookie' crust at the bottom, leaving soft, spongy yellow cake at the top.

Even Dearest Son loved it, and Beloved Hubby, never one for sweets, ate two pieces. We also drained the last of the milk, which is good. Now I can get fresh during tomorrow's grocery run.

Elphie enjoyed her bed last night. It's not easy for a doll to take the appearance of a sleeping person, but Elphie really did look passed out. The mattress made the difference. At one point during the bed 'construction', I wasn't going to bother with one, but stiff doll lying on hard cardboard box looked really fake. Giving the mattress some contours with the buttons also made the bed look more...'lived in'. Sadly, I had to wrinkle the sheet up after I ironed it, but it worked out.

Otherwise, not much happened today. Hubby says I can set up Room With a View on our bureau top, so once I get it cleaned off, Elphie will have a more permanent residence. Then I can take better bed pictures ! He also hung a much-needed shelf by my sewing 'studio'. That's probably where Doll I'm Working On will hang out during his/her fittings.

But for now, day is nearly done. Elphie's already looking forward to another soft night, and I can hear Hubby reading to Son. (happy smile) For another 'nothing' day, it's been quite nice.
